In
the spring of 2001 I found a beagle mix dog in the parking
lot of Asheville's health food store. I took him home
with me and when I could not locate his family, I began searching
for a new home for "Buddy".

I saw that the local rescue organizations were desperately
overloaded with homeless dogs and realized it was
not going to be easy to place this young, energetic guy. I
put up a website to advertise Buddy for adoption,
and that's how loveyourbuddy.com began.

Suzi, Riley & Kiko

A little while after Buddy was adopted, I printed my first batch ofDOG IS LOVE bumper
stickers. At the time, I just thought it would be fun to
see
them on cars all over town. When I saw how popular they were, I decided use the DOG sticker series
to raise funds and awareness for animal welfare & rescue
organizations.

I hope DOG
IS LOVE will bring smiles to drivers and parking
lot wanderers and at the same time, generate a little money to help those working to reduce the suffering of homeless animals.
